Shoshana Bean, star of the Broadway smash hits Wicked and Hairspray, has released a music video for her song, "Jungle Jim."

Shoshana
recently released her debut solo album Superhero on her own label, Shotime Records.  In its first week of sales, Superhero reached #5 on the iTunes R&B charts, making it the only independent album in the top 100.

Raised in Portland, Oregon and a graduate of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, Shoshana first appeared on the New York City theatre scene in the off-Broadway revival of Godspell.  Soon after, she made her Broadway debut in the original cast of the Tony Award-winning production of Hairspray and went on to be the first replacement for the famed green-skinned witch Elphaba in the Broadway sensation Wicked.  Following her year-long Broadway run, she was invited to reprise her performance throughout North America in the Wicked national tour.

Most recently Shoshana headlined in the Las Vegas burlesque revue Peepshow.  She made her Los Angeles concert debut at the Ford Amphitheatre in June 2008 and in November made her New York City concert debut to a sold out crowd at Rose Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Centre.

Shoshana has been a back-up singer for an endless list of superstars including Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Destiny’s Child, N’Sync, Ray Charles, Britney Spears and Michael Jackson at KTU’s Miracle on 34th Street and Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration, both at Madison Square Garden.  She gained national attention when she teamed up with Grammy Award nominee Brian McKnight to honour Aretha Franklin on the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards.
